BUTTONHOLE DECORATIONS.
The Craze for Wearing Ribbons
and Orders in France.--DiplO-

Market,

The Craze for Wearing Ribbons
and Orders in France.--Diplo-
mas and Insignia Sold in the
Market.
The French are not the only nation
who thirst for decorations and orders. A
number of Americans now in Paris,
says writer in the Epoch, have danced
attendance on the ministers to obtain
the coveted hOnOrs. One in particular
has whole case full OF orders, which
he puts on exhibition when he gives a
reception. Those who are unable at
first to gain decoration are satisfied to
wear the purple ribbon of Officer Of
Academy, q sort of Sub-Officer of the Le-
giOn of Honor.
The traffic in decorations is not new,
the business being carried on generally
by women who have friends among the
ministry. The number of persons dec
Grated with the various orders of knight
hood is so large that it is almost dis
tinction to be seen withOut'a ribbon in
your buttOnhOle. Even the actresses
and ballet-dancerS are not forgotten on
the grand occasions like New Years
day and the Fourteenth of July. Sev-
eral of these charming persons are in
cluded in the list of those who receive
academic palms, which are the minor
distinctions conferred by the govern
ment One of the tricks of the men
who have not rendered any special ser
vice TO their country, or who are not
rich enough to buy grade in one of the
orders, is to wear in their buttonhole
little red flower, which, at a distance,
looks like the roSette of the Legion of
Honor.
Nearly every society of any import
ance distributes medals among its men,
berS, who, however, are not allowed to
display them in public. The Grand
Chancery of the Legion Of Honor, un-
der whose direction all the hOnOrific
distinctions are placed, permits the
members of the Life-Saving society to
wear their medals on gala days. Some
time ago the announcement that the
minister of commerce would beStOW one
of these marks of favor on every work
man who had remained thirty years i'll
the same shop. was received with as
much delight as though the minister
had agreed to give them pension.
There are two kinds of agencies at
Paris: one which really obtains genuine
foreign decorations, the other which
simply fabricates the diplomas and in
sigma. There are about $50 orders of
chivairy i'll Europe, and most of them
are on the market here. They vary in
price from $500 to Sl,OOO. The existence
of these agencies shows that it is pOssi-
bic to obtain decoration without hav-
ing any title to it, other than pur-
chaSable one. As far back as the reign
of Henri ", honorary distinctions
were sometimes conveyed by favor, and
not for merit. When that monarch re-
mitted the collar of the Order of the
Holy Spirit to NJ. de la Vieuville, the
recipient mOdestly replied:
''Sire, am not worthy of the honor"
81 know it," replied the king, smil-
ingIy, but my nephew begged me to
invest you with it,"
History does not say whether the
nephew received commission for his
influence.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-EX-Repre-

most prominent of those mentioned for
the vacancy in the supreme court, called

All the Democratic senators would vote

Secretary Lamar has many warm per-
sonal friends, who would vote for him
too. have no doubt he will be nomi-
mated by the president and confirmed by

Goode said last night that the president
had told him plainly that it had been de-
cided to appoint a gentleman from the
judicial circuit which included the state
of Mississippi, and that Mr.. Lamar had
been informed of the presidents inten-
ton to appoint him.

United States grand jury to-day in
dicted Mentor j. BOggs and John F.
Riddle for forgery of a pensioners i'll

LEBANON, o.. Nov. 26.-Prof. Wend-
lin Zimmerman, of the Normal univer-
sity, having occasion to study the work
ing of the steam engine preparatory to
a lecture upon the subject, yesterday
visited Greeley's Touring mill. 1t is
supposed that he had an attack of diZZi-
ness and fell into the pit of the fly
wheel, where his body was whirled by
the wheel, making 130 revolutions a
minute. When the machinery was
stopped the body was broken to pieces.
His pOcketbOok was thirty feet away.

WHY NOT sTOCKsLAGER ?
Indianians Think He Could Well
Fill Sparks Place.

Special 10 the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-"I believe
that Mr.. StockSlager should be ap-
pointed to succeed to Mr.. Sparks" said
Senator Voorhees, this afternoon in re-
ply to inquiries by the GLOBE man.
'Will he be likely to be appointed?
"That l cannot say. He has been as
sistant commissioner for long time.
and has studied land matters very
thoroughly. He is a man of marked
ability, and would have probably been
easily appointed commissioner at first,
but that the Office was early pre-empted
by Mr.. Sparks. His appointment would
please all Indiana"
But it is charged that Indiana has
had more than her share"
THAT is true. The charge is made,
state, very doubtful state. ] do not
want to claim all the offices for Indiana,
because she is a doubtful state, but
believe that the president might better
favor her when he can, and
especially when the promotion
of Mr.. StOckslager would be in the
line of civil service reform. He is just
the proper person to appoint; and,
while Indiana would be cOmplimented
by the promotion, she would feel hurt
if another We're placed over him. That
would be but natural. However, the
president has no easy duty to perform
in settling a matter of this kind, where
so many interests are to be considered"
Mr. Voorhees, has had daily confer
enceS with the president ever since the
vacancy occurred, and he calls upon
MI. Lamar every afternoon and talks
the matter over with him. COnceding
that Mr.. Villas is to be secretary, Mr..
Lamar feels that it would be rather the
duty of Mr.. Villas to select and recon-
mend an assistant in such an important
office. But the relations of Villas and
Voorhees, have not always been of the
pleaSantest. Nevertheless, Voorhees,
has seen Villas and other gentlemen who
are influential with the president. He
works for StOckSlager as he does for
anyone who secures his interest and
assistance. The deputy commissioner
and now acting commissioner, MI.
Stockslager, is gentleman with pleas
ant face, red whiSkers, wiry, slender,
active, energetic. He is well liked by
all the gentlemen and ladies in his of
fee, and would probably prove to be all
that Mr.. Voorhees, says of him.
